Four Bagatelles

Order # W 071UPC: 7 7735 00071 2Suggested Retail Price: $8.95 by Violet ArcherThese pieces are for the advanced performer, each one portraying a different mood: the first, Forceful, requires strength and firmness and deliberation without being harsh and percussive. The second, Capricious, requires lightness and control, involving legato accompanied by staccato. It requires sensitivity to rhythmic changes. The third, Introspective, is a study in expressive cantabile playing, both in the treble and the bass. The latter is a response to the quasi-declamation of the treble which precedes it. The fourth, Festive, requires brilliance and lightness. The contrasting middle section requires very smooth legato.
